Eccentric Axial Loading in a Plane of Symmetry01:16

Eccentric Axial Loading in a Plane of Symmetry

459
Eccentric axial loading occurs when an axial load is applied away from the centroidal axis of a structural member. This scenario is common in engineering, where structural elements may not be directly aligned due to various design or functional requirements.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

4.2K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

General Case of Eccentric Axial Loading01:12

General Case of Eccentric Axial Loading

395
Unsymmetrical bending occurs when the bending moment applied to a structural member does not align with its principal axis. This misalignment leads to complex stress distributions and deflection patterns that differ from symmetrical bending, which are essential for designing structures to withstand different loading conditions.
Consider a member subjected to equal and opposite forces that are applied along a line that does not coincide with the member's neutral axis. In unsymmetrical...

Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

9.7K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

4.6K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Occipitocervical fusion (OCF) effectively treats occipitocervical junction (OCJ) instability.
  • The occipital condyle screw technique offers novel occipitocervical fixation but requires experienced surgeons due to procedural complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Evaluate the feasibility and safety of the occipital condyle screw technique.
  • Provide anatomical data for clinical application of this surgical method.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 10 fresh-frozen human cadaveric specimens.
  • Performed occipital condyle screw placement and obtained 3D CT reconstructions.
  • Conducted morphometric analysis of screw trajectory, angles, and distances to critical structures.

Main Results:

  • Successful placement of occipital condyle screws in 20 specimens with satisfactory trajectories.
  • No observed injury to the spinal cord, nerve root, or vertebral artery.
  • Detailed morphometric data on screw length, angles, and distances to hypoglossal canal and medial occipital condyle wall.

Conclusions:

  • The occipital condyle screw technique is feasible and safe for OCJ instability.
  • Meticulous preoperative planning based on individual anatomy is essential.
  • Morphometric analysis aids in evaluating the surgical procedure's success.
